Italian Food

I don't eat Italian. It's the red sauce.

Greg, on the other hand, loves Italian.


One day, Greg asked where we should go for supper. I was tired of the regular places, so when he suggested "Fat Greg's" in Kenner, I figured ~ hey, it's a change. Most likely it's just pizza and red sauce, but I'm sure I can find a salad too.

The outside looks like a hole in the wall. It's something that you look at and think, "Who would eat there?" Greg said, "Fat Greg's isn't a name of a restaurant that you'd think of table cloths and good dining."

When we walked in, it was lovely. Not super fancy, but nicely decorated. It's not a large place but the tables are spaced so that you don't feel like the place was trying to crowd people in.


We went to the table on the right side of the restaurant (it’s divided in two halves). Another couple was on the same side of the restaurant that we were and Greg asked them if they could recommend a dish. They immediately said, "Pecan Chicken and pasta." When I looked at the menu description of the dish, it didn't have red sauce for the pecan chicken - woot! And, you could substitute the pasta for broccoli - yeah!

I enjoyed the quiet ambiance of the restaurant. We were able to have a pleasant conversation with the other couple and talked about various places in the area.

Food wise ~ Everything was delicious. This is one of those little secrets in the area. The waitress' name was Becky and her husband is Greg (the owner and chef) and no, he's not fat. I can definitely see us going there again. The portions were large, so we split our plates and took half to go home. The prices are reasonable and with having left overs for lunch the next day - even more savings!

So, whenever my hubby wants Italian, we have an agreed upon place to go!
